AI Coaching provides real-time suggestions and talking points during your calls. The coaching panel appears automatically when a call connects and offers context-aware tips to help you navigate conversations.

How AI Coaching Works

When a call connects:
  1. The coaching panel opens automatically
  2. AI analyzes the call context (contact info, call history)
  3. Tips are generated and displayed in real-time
  4. Tips update as the call progresses
The system uses Groq and OpenAI models for fast, relevant suggestions.

Relationship Building

Tips for rapport and trust:
  • Personal connection points
  • Active listening prompts
  • Value delivery
Example tip:

Context Awareness

Tips are personalized based on:

Contact Data

  • Company — Industry-specific suggestions
  • Previous calls — Follow-up on past conversations
  • Tags — Segment-specific tips
  • Notes — Context from previous interactions

Call State

  • Duration — Tips adapt to call length
  • Outcome goals — Based on call purpose

Real-Time Signals

The AI listens for:
  • Key phrases from the prospect
  • Objections raised
  • Buying signals
  • Disengagement cues
Audio is processed for coaching only. Calls are not recorded unless you explicitly enable recording.

Using Tips Effectively

During the Call

  1. Glance at the panel — Tips update automatically
  2. Choose relevant tips — Not all tips apply every call
  3. Adapt language — Make it your own, don’t read verbatim
  4. Dismiss if distracting — You can hide the panel

After the Call

Tips are saved to the call record:
  • Which tips were shown
  • Call duration when shown
  • Outcome of the call
This helps improve future tip suggestions.

Dismissing Tips

If tips are distracting:
  • Click Dismiss on individual tips
  • Or click Hide Panel to close entirely
The panel returns on the next call.
